Ayurvedic Treatment for Low Testosterone Level

Abstract

Testosterone is the main male sex hormone and also occurs in women but in a very small quantity. There are three forms of testosterone and bioavailable Testosterone is the one of them which is used by the body. But as testosterone levels decrease due to ageing and some medical conditions and generally, doctors recommend testosterone replacement therapy but it has many side effects. Therefore natural treatment is the appropriate treatment and Planet Ayurveda offers TRT Care Pack which provides efficient results to increase testosterone level.

What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone and an anabolic steroid in humans. It is the main sex hormone in the male and is mainly produced in the testicles. It is also produced by the ovaries in women but in very small amounts. It is mainly responsible for sexul drive and plays a vital role in sperm production.

What is Bioavailable Testosterone?

Bioavailable testosterone is the form of testosterone which is used by the body. There are three forms of testosterone.

1. One type is bonded with SHBG i.e. sex hormone-binding globulin. It is the most common type and makes up about 65%of total testosterone. It is not bioavailable.
2. Second one is bonded to the protein albumin which makes up about 35 % of total testosterone. This form of testosterone is potentially bioavailable because it can be manipulated to get away from protein.
3. The third type is free, which is not bonded to any protein. Free testosterone makes up about 2% of total testosterone. It is completely bioavailable and used by the body. Free testosterone circulates throughout the bloodstream and can adhere to the receptors in the brain, muscles, and other organs.

Testosterone plays a vital role in the growth of reproductive organs in male (prostate and testes). This hormone helps to increase bone density, muscle strength, production of sperm and sex drive.

If bio-available testosterone levels increases in men, so they can expect the increase in sex drive, energy, and muscle strength as well as improved mood and well-being. But there are many causes which reduce the testosterone and many people undergo Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) but it also creates many side effects.
